                   Red Hat Security Advisory

Synopsis:          Updated mICQ packages fix vulnerability
Advisory ID:       RHSA-2003:118-01
Issue date:        2003-04-24
Updated on:        2003-04-24
Product:           Red Hat Linux
Keywords:          mICQ malformed ICQ message DoS 0xFE
Cross references:  
Obsoletes:         
CVE Names:         CAN-2002-1363
---------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Topic:

Updated mICQ packages are available for Red Hat Linux versions 7.2
and 7.3 that fix a remote crash.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Linux 7.2 - i386, ia64
Red Hat Linux 7.3 - i386

3. Problem description:

mICQ is an online messaging and conferencing program.

mICQ versions 0.4.9 and earlier allow remote attackers to cause a
denial of service (crash) using malformed ICQ message types without a
0xFE separator character.

Users of mICQ are advised to upgrade to these erratum packages
containing mICQ version 0.4.10.2 which is not vulnerable to this
issue.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.

To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run:

rpm -Fvh [filenames]

where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade.  Only
those RPMs which are currently installed will be updated.  Those RPMs
which are not installed but included in the list will not be updated.
Note that you can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current
directory *only* contains the desired RPMs.

Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network.
Many people find this an easier way to apply updates.  To use Red Hat
Network, launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:

up2date

This will start an interactive process that will result in the
appropriate RPMs being upgraded on your system.
